planted out today

TightenUp · May 3, 2013

this is a garden i maintain for my father. he likes red tomatoes so thats what he got most of. of course i tossed in some other colored varieties and cherries.

3 cherries
red- sun cherry
yellow- sungold f1
brown/black- sunchocola

Reds
big boy- his request
rutgers (semi-indeterminate?)- his request
rutgers (determinate)
big beef

yellow
KBX

pink
goose creek-red or pink???? tomatobase says both
brandy boy

purple
cherokee purple

i still have many other varieties for the other 4 gardens i started seeds for. tomorrow i will plant garden 2 at my brother in laws house. he'll get about 10 plants and not many are duplicates of what i planted today. nice thing about that garden is that i get to eat the fruits but dont have to do any maintenance

Wow, it's great to see such a great relationship, you are both very lucky!

I'm thinking of taking down some tall skinny evergreens that block my morning sun, so I'm probably going to wait a week or two to plant out just in case they miss and come down over my garden. I'd about die if my plants met their demise before enjoying their summer!

Good luck this season!

got the last 2 gardens set out fri . hopefully everything works out as the weather man was a little off on the rain we weren't supposed to get. they called for possible drizzle and we got a downpour

my beach garden which is a raised bed less than 100 yards from the water gave me all sorts of problems last season because of the misty saltwater air. i'm trying some new varieties here. the only repeats are kelloggs breakfast and sungold which both did well last year in this bed
